Thankyou Gins could i be a pain and ask in the 1861 census it states where mother Jane was born and in the 1871 census where Mary Ann Hore was born i am hoping they were sisters from Whitby

Gee

Gee Report 4 Aug 2012 10:19

It says Durham, Sunderland on the census but someone has added other info to the transcription page to say she was born in Whitby, Yorkshire


Mary Ann Hore, widow born Sunderland

This is what is confusing me i believed jane was born jane drummond in whitby in 1824 and Mary Ann drummond in whitby in 1817 seems to be a mistake for both ladies but it does appear tha lancelot is living with his aunt mary

Iwill have to check the father of Jane on the marriage to Lancelot Mewburn and the father of Mary Ann on her marriage to William Hore as i thought their parents were James Drummond of Scotland and Mary Husband of Whitby
Obviously more visits to Sunderland Library

drummo Report 4 Aug 2012 11:01

I think the Drummond family moved from whitby to Sunderland between1824 -1826 if i am on the right family but i wont know untill i go back and check the parish records fo both girls fathers names. IF it is George i am following the wrong line
Thanks again for your help

Gee

Gee Report 4 Aug 2012 11:19

I dont think the father is that George that I posted earlier, just posted to rule him out really.

A tree on Ancestry has Janes parents as James and Mary (Husband) but it needs verifying of course

Did Jane and Mary have any other siblings?


For what its worth, its only the 1871 census that has Mary born in Sunderland, all the others say Whitby

Hi Gins just got back from library and confirmed that both Jane and Mary Ann's father was called James a mariner so looks like my tree is correct and they were both born in Whitby along with brothers William and James who my tree is based on.It was with Ancestry saying Durham & Sunderland births had me concerned.there was 3 more children born in Sunderland after 1826
Nice of you to help but i had to go and confirm incase i had gone wrong in my search
